Brantley, Alabama deer hunter reports seeing 'strange looking' UFO

It’s the second Thursday of the month, so this week I’m
giving you an update on UFO reports in Alabama from the previous month,
courtesy of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). A search for UFO reports in Alabama
between Feb. 1 and Feb. 28 on MUFON’s website, www.mufon.com, resulted in five reports
from within our state during that time.

The first incident took place on Wed., Feb. 1, at 6:25 p.m.
near Remlap, which is in Blount County, north of Birmingham. The witness in this
case was driving north on State Highway 79, headed to her mother’s house with
her daughter. Suddenly, they saw two strobing lights move across the sky from
east to west, just above the tree tops, the witness said. A jet plane was
flying closely behind it, so low that the witness could see the landing gear
doors beneath the plane, the witness said.

All of this happened in the space of a few seconds, and the
daughter began “freaking out” because the incident scared her, the witness
said. Two minutes later, the witnesses arrived at their destination and went
inside, only to be told that the occupants had heard a “roaring, rumbling noise
that vibrated the house.” The woman said that she and her daughter were in
“shock” over the incident, “not really believing” what they saw.

The second incident occurred on Fri., Feb. 3, at 2:01 p.m.
The witness in this case didn’t say where it occurred other than to say that it
happened in Alabama. The witness said that he and his father were in a car,
waiting at a stop light, when the incident began.

The witness said he looked out his window, toward the
west-northwest, when he saw a “bulky” craft in the sky. As he watched, this
“definite, unknown” craft broke into two sections, and they began to fall
slowly towards the ground, leaving trails of smoke and debris.

The third incident occurred on Sun., Feb. 5, at 3:18 a.m. in
Heflin, which is in Cleburne County, not far from the Georgia state line. The
witness in this case said that in the middle of the night, his small dogs started
“barking up a storm, a little more than usual,” so he got up to let them
outside. Both dogs immediately ran to woods on the corner of his property, the
man said.

The man noticed a rustling in the tall grass among the
trees, but he couldn’t see what was causing the disturbance. However, the man
sensed something was there, and the “presence” he felt made his head “ache
almost instantaneously,” he said. The man got “real spooked” and noted that his
dogs appeared “frozen in fear,” he said.

The man picked up his dogs, went back inside, locked all of
his doors and attempted to call a cousin who lived down the road. However, the
phone “just gave static” as did the TV when he switched it on.

Suddenly, in that moment, he looked out the window in time
to see a “teardrop-shaped craft” hovering above the tree-line. The man said
that the craft was “pretty far” away, but clearly visible. The man also noted
that the craft had red, pulsating lights.

The fourth incident was reported on Mon., Feb. 20, and comes
from a witness near Brantley, which is in Crenshaw County, not far from
Evergreen. The witness in this case said that he’d been seeing a “strange
looking” object in the sky on and off for about two weeks prior to his report
and he’d tried his best to determine what it was.

On Sun., Feb. 19, the witness was deer hunting and about 45
minutes after dark he climbed down out of his shooting house. As he walked back
towards home, he looked back toward the shooting house and spotted the unusual
object again in the sky.

The witness took pictures of the object and posted five of
them online along with his report. Each of the photos showed a bluish-white,
disc-shaped object with what appeared to be a small dark circle offset from the
center. The edges of the object were blurry, most likely due to the
photographer’s distance from the object.

The fifth and final incident of the month occurred on Fri.,
Feb. 24, at around 8:45 p.m. near Hayden, which is also in Blount County, not
far from Remlap. The witness in this case was outside with her husband watching
a lightning storm in the northern sky when she noticed a bright object off to
the left. She continued to watch as the object headed straight toward the
lightning storm, and at one point it seemed to slow down and dim. Just as quick,
the object grew brighter as it picked up speed.

“At first, I thought it was a falling star and immediately
pointed the object out to my husband since he had his back towards it,” she
said. “The object was bright silver and shaped like a bullet or a cigar, flying
horizontal with the ground.”

The object left a silver trail of light in its wake, and
right after the woman pointed it out to her husband, it seemed to slow down and
dim for a few seconds before it brightened and picked up speed.

Before closing out this week, I just want to put it out
there again that I would be very interested to hear from anyone who have
witnessed a UFO, especially in Conecuh County. I think a lot of other people
would be interested in hearing your story too, and I’m willing to accept your
report anonymously. You can contact me by e-mail at courantsports@earthlink.net
or by phone at 578-1492.
